Weird Safari problem

I've been having a regular problem when browsing using Safari lately. Not sure why but it will just return me to the home screen for no apparent reason. It did this once when there was a security issue with the site I was using but now does this on normal (not banking) websites.

It all seemed to start when I was browsing whilst listening to music, but now does this even when I'm just browsing.

Needless to say, it's rather annoying. Anyone else had this problem?

Re: Weird Safari problem

This happens to me regularly 4-5 times a day mostly when trying to type a message on here ! But happens on other sites too.Ive not found a solution apart from clearing the cache but i still have the problem.Hopefully Apple will sort this problem in the next update.

Re: Weird Safari problem

Happens to me a lot too, its bloody frustrating when the biggest thing I use the phone for is the internet.
A reset seems to make it go away for a while, it also seems to happen more when I'm on a Wi-Fi connection than when I'm on 3G or EDGE, but I agree I hope Apple Get this fixed soon, we don't need Google Street View we need the features already on the phone working correctly!

Re: Weird Safari problem

I have a theory that the firmware is somehow programmed to work fine until a couple of weeks before the next update is released. Mine is probably going to start doing this as well.
